CAPABILITY
Capital & Environmental Markets
Fund your sustainability journey.
Capital in, revenue out – navigating the flows that make action possible.
In 30 Seconds
Great sustainability projects fail at finance – not because they lack impact, but because they lack investment readiness.
We help you bridge the gap between sustainability ambition and the capital to deliver it:
- Capital InGrants, impact investment, green finance, blended capital
- Revenue OutCarbon credits, biodiversity credits, ecosystem service payments

The Challenge
For Project Developers
You have a restoration project, a landscape initiative, or a nature-based solution. But capital sources have different requirements, timelines, and expectations.
- • Which funders match your project stage?
- • What does “investment ready” actually mean?
- • How do you stack multiple revenue streams?
For Corporate Buyers
You need to procure credits for net-zero commitments, BVCM, or compliance. But quality varies enormously and greenwashing risk is real.
- • How do you assess credit quality?
- • What fits your SBTi targets?
- • How do you build a credible portfolio?
The gap: Understanding sustainable finance concepts is different from navigating them successfully. Strategy without capital is just a wish. Credit procurement without due diligence is a reputational risk.
How We Help
Four service areas bridging sustainability ambition and financial reality
Investment Readiness
Get capital-ready at the right stage
- •Capital Continuum Assessment: Where are you on the journey from grant-dependent to commercially viable?
- •Gap Analysis: What do investors need to see that you don't have yet?
- •Pitch Preparation: Business cases, financial models, impact narratives
Don't pitch Stage 1 projects to Stage 4 investors.
Funder Landscape & Proposals
Find and win the right capital
- •Funder Mapping: Grants, impact investors, DFIs, blended finance – who funds what you're building?
- •Proposal Development: From EOI to full application – compelling narratives that match funder priorities
- •Green Finance Navigation: Sustainability-linked loans, green bonds, transition finance
Right capital, right time, right terms.
Environmental Market Revenue
Monetise ecosystem services
- •Carbon Credit Strategy: Which standards, which registries, what pricing?
- •Biodiversity Credits: BNG (mandatory UK), voluntary biodiversity markets
- •Revenue Stacking: How to layer carbon + biodiversity + PES without double-counting
Turn what your land does into what it earns.
Credit Procurement & Due Diligence
Buy with confidence
- •Quality Assessment: Additionality, permanence, leakage – what makes a credit credible?
- •Portfolio Strategy: Removal vs avoidance, nature vs tech, UK vs global
- •Greenwashing Protection: Claims that withstand scrutiny
Credits that help your targets AND your reputation.
